End of THE WORLD, a rwby fanfic

Hello again, everyone. This is another one-shot for those who are making reaction fics. They are a guilty pleasure of mine and I have no clue why I love them as much as I do, but, nonetheless, I wish to say something before you start reading.

I made this a while ago, it will not be at the same level of quality as my more recent works, but I am honestly too lazy to fix it up. If anyone wants to take this and use it, feel free, just make sure to give me a shoutout and maybe PM me so I can read what you do with it.

OK! That's it! Get on reading! Have fun and enjoy yourselves!

Weiss smirked as she looked to the top of the stairs, she and her friends had travelled across the entire globe for this, from Vale to Mistral and then all the way to Vacuo to face off against this evil being. Right now she was alone but it doesn't matter, she'd kill him herself, it wouldn't take much, she was already half way up.

At the top of the stairs stood the man of her nightmares, Jaune Dio Arc. Jaune dons a gold jacket with a tight black tank-top underneath, as well as black chaps with an exposed crotch. On his head is a green heart-shaped circlet to match his knee guards.

Jaune stood with his hands on his hips and an ever present smug smirk on his face, the dim light in the mansion made the small light behind him ever brighter and cast Jaune in a sinister shroud.

"So we finally meet, DIO!" Weiss spoke with gravitas, the smirk never leaving her lips.

Jaune clapped twice for the showmanship, his claw like nails painted black. "Congratulations, Weiss. You've avenged your sister, and managed to travel from the Far East to make it here." Jaune acknowledged Weiss' achievements with a smile that looked gentle, but held such evil even a blind man could see it. His smile also revealed twin fangs jutting out from his gums.

Weiss placed a hand upon her chest "Heh! If you want to give me a prize for that, how about you give me your life?" Weiss grabbed the curtains that were next to her and spat out a small amount of blood onto it, her injuries against Vanilla Ice and his Stand [Cream] were painful, debilitating so. Losing a few fingers, half a foot and a calf made it increasingly difficult for her to even stand. But even so, Jaune was standing just up the stairs in front of her.

Jaune narrowed his eyes ever so slightly at the sight of such an insult. Jaune chuckled and lifted a finger "I shall give you a chance. Go down two steps, and I'll let you join my side again. But if you'd rather die, then climb those stairs."

Weiss grit her teeth "When I met you that day, I succumbed from the bottom of my heart to your spell of fear and immense evil. That was when I became a loser. It's much scarier than death, living with no desire but to do your bidding. But right now, I don't feel any fear at all. I feel only my will to fight. Since I met Mr Xiao Long and the others, this journey of 45 days and the death of my friends have completely blown away my fear of you." Weiss said with determination and unparalleled anger.

Jaune licked his lips at the display "Is that so? Then climb those stairs."

Weiss took a single step up the stairs. "I see, Weiss. You've gone down the stairs, which means you wish to join me, Jaune."

Weiss looked down and saw that yes, she was further down then she was before. Her determination wavered for just a second before she steeled herself and took another step. Weiss once again looked at the stairs and saw she was even further down. "Wh-What!? I know I just took a step up…"

"What's the matter? You're losing your composure, Weiss." Jaune taunted. "Doesn't one lose her composure when she is afraid? Or is it that in your heart, you know you must climb up, but you are so terrified that your body subconsciously did the opposite and went down?"

"Impossible! I know I went up the stairs!" Weiss begins running up towards Jaune as fast as she could. But suddenly she was once again at the bottom of the stairs. Weiss began to sweat as her heart beat faster and harder in her chest. 'Wh-What did he do!? Is it his Stand? It can't be…?'

Weiss' eyes widened as she realized this must be the work of Jaune's Stand '…The World!?'

Weiss' body began to shake in fear 'Wh-What is…'

The opening credits began to play

As 'The End of The World' began to play a series of scenes began to accompany the song.

Inside a grandfather clock, the face of a young boy with blue hair appeared on the right side of the screen before the pendulum swung past him and on the left side the young face of Jaune appeared.

The pendulum swung past and the blue haired boy appeared older and more refined, the next swing once again showed Jaune, about 15-16 years of age. The next swing showed Taiyang Xiao Long with his Federation IV Fedora.

As the singer began to ramp up the pendulum showed Jaune turned away from the screen with no shirt, showing the audience his purple star birthmark. The pendulum brought Yang Xiao Long into the picture, and she stared over to the left with a calm anger, her new hat and coat covering her cut hair and shoulders.

The next picture was of Jaune, the same picture as before, but brought closer and revealing his red vampire eyes.

The final swing brought forth the view of a desert which was zooming past. The camera tilted upwards and showed gears from Ozpin's office strewn about the deserts of Vacuo, and Yang stood on a small dune, hands in her pocket and staring out into the horizon.

As the screen went past her it turned sideways and Taiyang is seen exaggeratedly running past her before he jumps into the air and throws his right hand out in front of him, a purple rose vine shooting out and pulling him away.

Then Flynt Coal is seen with a large humanoid bird, his Stand, Magician's Red seen behind him. He puts his hands together in a strange symbol and Magician's Red lashes out, flames following its fists and shooting out.

The camera ducks underneath a gear and Blake is seen turning herself towards the camera, she points forward and opens her mouth as if shouting and her Stand comes out. It looks like a robot with green liquid running inside, this is {Hierophant Green]. It places its hands together and what looks like water appears between its hands, it twists its hands and the water turns into emeralds that fire out in a blast forward.

The emeralds fly across the desert and past Zwei, who roars and the sand beside him rises up and forms a machine like dog creature called The Fool.

The camera zips past another gear and Weiss is shown kneeling on the ground before standing up and turning towards the camera. As she turns she swings her right fist out and her Stand appears, a silver robotic figure with two swords, a rapier much like herself, and Anubis a Stand that once possessed her before she broke it. Her Stand is Silver Chariot. Weiss points to the camera and Silver Chariot swings and slices the camera before it transitions.

The group is seen climbing stairs that look just like the ones in Jaune's mansion, as the shadows of the Vacuoan Gods fly by one at a time.

A POV shot is shown of the group as they go up the stairs. They don't move as the camera flies down towards Yang who is the furthest down the stairs. Weiss and Taiyang are on the left while Zwei, Flynt and Blake are on the right. Yang stands in the middle of the stairs with her hands in her coat pockets and looking down.

When the camera reaches Yang, the wooden railing around her is broken in a strange manner, each part of the wood is broken individually with time between each one being broken.

Yang lifts her eyes to the camera and grits her teeth in anger before a large purple woman with rolling black hair bursts from Yang and stands tall and proud as she roars above Yang, whose hat covers one eye, making her glare that much more intimidating.

Purple flames cover Yang and her Stand Star Platinum which shines bright before dimming. When the light dims it shows the group standing at a broken wall looking over the Vacuoan city of Cairo, as lights appear over the city in strange places.

The screen goes red and shows one color versions of Weiss and Zwei walking upstairs as Flynt reaches out to them. The one color versions of the characters stay still as the stairs move, showing them movie down the stairs, mimicking what happened to Weiss. The grandfather clock's pendulum swings past as a transition.

A one color version of Blake is shown standing atop the highest point of a building as green webs connect over the screen. The strange webs shatter as the pendulum swings once again.

A one color version of Taiyang Xiao Long reaches out to someone off screen before a strange point beam of light flies from off screen and stops just before his throat. His Stand Hermit Purple is seen on his hand. The pendulum swings once again and wipes it away.

A one color version of Yang is shown suspended in the air before dozens of the same pointed lights appear and stop just in front of her body, pointing to all over her body. The pendulum swings past once again, but as it does so Yang's fingers twitch.

The pendulum turns into a beam of rainbow light that flies across the globe and splits into six when it reaches Vacuo, the beams of light then transform into each member of the group called the "Stardust Crusaders".

The singer starts shouting 'HAH' which follows a member of the Stardust Crusaders appearing on screen before they all turn into their Stands at the last HAH.

Yang is shown walking up invisible glass stairs in a void filled with stars until she comes across a glass wall. She pulls her hands out of her pockets and clenches them, her Star Platinum appearing and punching the wall for her.

As she punches the wall she suddenly freezes, and the glass wall breaks. The screen then zooms to show over Yang's shoulder. Jaune appears behind her as the glass falls away.

Yang turns around and her Star Platinum's fists fly forward and the words "ORA" appear all over the screen like in comic books. Then there is a black and white comic like view of Star Platinum's fists fighting the fists of an unknown Stand.

Then the title card is shown…

Yang's Bizarre Adventure

Stardust Crusaders

The sun rises above the title card and it turns to dust.

"Weiss, have you ever considered why humans wish to live?" Weiss gulped nervously as Jaune calmly and sagely spoke to her. "Humans live hoping to conquer their anxieties and fears, and attain peace of mind." Jaune walked away and stood in front of a throne like chair that Weiss was certain wasn't there before. Surprisingly the chair and Jaune were still perfectly in view.

"Seeking fame…" Jaune sat down, the white light behind the chair enshrouding Jaune's face in darkness. "Controlling others…" Weiss gasped in fear, as it continued to bubble up in her chest. "And acquiring wealth are all done to achieve peace of mind. Marriage and friendship is also pursued as a means of attaining peace of mind."

Jaune began looking at his nails, dismissively ignoring Weiss. "When humans say they wish to help others, or that a thing is done for love or justice… It's all merely to give themselves peace of mind. To achieve peace of mind is the goal of all mankind."

Weiss began to tear up lightly as Jaune fixed his gaze upon her "Now, given that, what anxiety could you possibly feel toward serving me?" Weiss began to hyperventilate as the cold grip of fear tightened around her heart. "Any other peace of mind will come easily if you do. Doesn't challenging me, even knowing that it may spell your death… bring you anxiety?" Jaune said with a smug smile plaguing his lips.

Weiss threw her arms around her body in a vain attempt to shield herself from his gaze 'I-It can't be! Am I subconsciously submitting to him?'

"You are a very capable Stand user. It's a waste to kill you. Why not cut ties with Xiao Long and the others, and serve me for eternity? I can promise you peace of mind for eternity."

'I can't go on like this… Flynt, Zwei… give me courage!' Weiss threw her arms out and shouted "Y-You talk too much, DIO! I've already died once." Weiss jumped up the stairs with a powerful leap. "I won't die again until I figure out the identity of you Stand!" Silver Chariot appeared out of Weiss and flew up the stairs, readying its rapier for a fight.

"You leave me no choice." Jaune stands up from his throne and a golden light appears around him and forms together as a humanoid Stand, it is tall and has a very muscular build. It wears a headpiece covering its face to below the place of its nose, slanting at a steep angle from the base of its forehead to a peak situated above the rear of its head by about half its height, leaving the face of an inverted triangle visible to the front; somewhat similar to the Red Crown of Lower Egypt.

It wears small, simple twin diving cylinders on its back, connecting via short, twin-ridged cables to the rear of its mask; perhaps secured by thick, ridged or puffered straps running from the rear of its waist over both its shoulders to its front. The back of both its hands bear the shape of a simple clock face. Its chin, the base of its abdomen, its crotch and its knees are topped by heart shapes. Plates on its shins, its footwear bear curved, sharply-pointed toes.

"Then you'll just have to die, Weiss!" The World flew down to meet Silver Chariot.

"So that's The World? Bring it on!"

"Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda!" Jaune shouted out his battlecry, an old mistralian word meaning useless that he uses to insult his enemies even if they don't know what it means.

Just before the two Stands can clash the wall behind Weiss explodes and sunlight fills the room. Jaune covers his eyes and avoids the light of the setting sun. Blake, Taiyang and Yang all pose in a badass fashion, all pointing at Jaune with the setting sun behind them. Blake is wearing sunglasses after an unfortunate incident when fighting [Geb] where she had it claw her eyes and she spent a few days in hospital with the best doctors money could buy, courtesy of Weiss of course.

Weiss smiled happily knowing she had backup, and at seeing her friends again "M-Mr Taiyang!"

Taiyang gripped his hat as he grinned "Don't worry, Weiss."

Jaune smirked and began to float off the ground, before flying away down a dark hallway. "DIO!" The entire group shouted as they saw him fly away.

Taiyang turned to Weiss "That was Jaune, wasn't it? We're going after him!" Taiyang started storming up the stairs.

"Before you go, let me say this." Weiss said determined. The group stopped and let Weiss continue.

"I just experienced his Stand, just for a moment. Actually, it wasn't so much an experience… It was completely beyond my understanding. I-I'll tell you exactly what happened. I thought I was climbing the stairs toward him, but before I knew it, I was actually going down! I-I'm sure you guys don't understand what I'm saying, and I don't know what he did, either.

"I thought I was going insane. It wasn't anything simple like, like hypnosis or super speed… I experienced something much more terrifying." Blake gulped down her dread as Taiyang lowered his head in thought.

Yang looked around the room and noticed something. "Where are Flynt and Zwei?" Taiyang and Blake gasped as they too noticed.

Weiss looked down and was only just able to choke out "Th-They didn't make it… They died saving me." Weiss let out tears as she tried but failed to hold the emotion in. Yang's hat covered her eyes in shadow, but despite her calm figure, her emotions could be heard as she grit her teeth to the point of them audibly grinding together.

Taiyang looked down the stairs as his eyes wavered and tears appeared in them. "I see."

Blake was able to hold it all in the most, only an extra deep breath giving away her feelings. She looked behind her to the hole and noticed something before turning back to Taiyang "Mr Xiao Long, the sun is setting. We must hurry."

Taiyang's eyes moved over to the sun "You're right."

Blake slammed a bag she was holding on the floor and a cry came from it. "Hey, Mercury. What's above this floor?"

The bag opened and Mercury lifted his head out of the bag, but he still kept it low, after the savage beating Yang gave him he wasn't even going to attempt fighting them. "A-A tower. There is a single room at the very top. Lord DIO stays there during the day."

Blake lifted her right hand to chest height, which made Mercury cower further into the bag. "Do any other staircases lead up to that tower?"

"N-No. These stairs are the only way."

"All right. Lead the way."

At the top of the tower, in Jaune's room they saw bookcases lining the wall and a single coffin dead center in the room, atop a raised platform. Jaune was always a fan of the classics.

Yang summoned her Star Platinum and it punched out the closed, locked and barricaded window, letting sunlight stream into the room. Mercury screamed and backed away from the beam of sunlight as he was a vampire like Jaune.

Despite the sunlight not reaching the coffin, it did illuminate the room enough to see it better. A stylized golden 'D' emblazoned the coffin, the first letter in Jaune's middle name, the name he uses now more than he ever did.

"So that's him?" Taiyang stated, as they all watched the coffin. "The man we're about to face is one I've never met, yet one I've known for so long."

'Yes. I have always known him. I've known him since the day I was born. The same goes for Yang. He's not someone we have fond memories of. Our Xiao Long blood always knew that he was someone we would encounter one day, someone we must defeat.' Taiyang and Yang's hats casting shadows on their faces, leaving only their narrowed eyes visible.

Blake steadied herself as she took a deep breath 'I have no regrets. The journey we've made, the events about to transpire… I regret none of it.' She breathed out and set her mind to the coming battle.

Weiss has suffered much to get here, and now it shall all come to an end 'What I'm feeling right now tells the side that I'm on is good. Jaune's side is evil. Mr Xiao Long and the others, too, are good. Despite my injuries I can feel my courage growing. I am on the good side, the side of righteousness!'

"Once he steps out of the coffin, we'll attack. But be careful. There's no guarantee that he's in there… Mercury! Open the coffin!"

Mercury began to let tears run in fear "L-Lord DIO, I promise, I did not betray you. It's because I truly believe in your power that I led them here. As certain as when you piss in a strong wind, it'll get on your pants! Please understand!"

"SHUT UP AND OPEN IT ALREADY!" Taiyang shouted at Mercury as he had enough of his whinging and whining.

"Make sure to kill these bastards, Lord DIO!" Mercury gripped the coffin's lid and began to slid it open.

"He's going to come flying out!" Taiyang informed, from what he learned from Yang, Weiss and Ruby that would be something he would do.

Mercury opened the lid just enough to see who was in there, it was… Mercury!? He had his jaw and chest sliced open, and his blood was filling the coffin. "Huh? Me!?" garbled Mercury. The group realized something was very, VERY wrong "I-I was the one inside!? But I was the one who opened the lid!"

Taiyang shouted "Wh-What!? How!? I never took my eyes off him! Did any of you see the moment Mercury entered… No, he was put into the coffin?"

Weiss was shaking "N-No… I was watching the whole time, but when I realized it, he was already inside!"

"It's as Weiss said! This is not merely a trick or super speed!" Blake took a step back.

"We're in danger." Yang remained calm but her eyes were wide with fear. "Something here is truly dangerous!"

"RUN!" Taiyang shouted as he sprinted to the window, followed by the others.

While they were falling, Blake shouted out a question, after all they had quite the while to fall "What in the world was that? I didn't actually see it, but it felt much more powerful than any Stand we've encountered so far. It was like knowing a bulldozer is present from the sound of its engine alone."

Taiyang placed a hand on his head to keep his prized hat on it "I felt it, too. It was incredible murderous intent! It felt like someone stuck an icicle up my ass! If we had stayed in there, we would've been killed, one by one!" Despite the gravity of the situation and the fear in his voice, Taiyang had to get a joke off.

As they fell they were able to grab hold of small metal decorations that lined the mansion. When they finished climbing up onto the building, Taiyang looked up to see the sun sinking below the horizon. "This is bad… this is extremely bad. The sun's almost out of sight!"

Blake finished Taiyang's sentence "His time has come."

Weiss turned to Blake with anger and pointed at her "Don't tell me that we're going to be helpless until sunrise tomorrow." Weiss then pointed at Taiyang "I'm telling you now Mr. Xiao Long! There's no way I'm going to run away now!"

Blake sighed "I agree with Weiss."

Taiyang narrowed his eyes at them and placed his hand on his chest "I feel the same way, but the situation has changed. We've encountered his Stand, The World, but we have no idea what it does. When climbing a mountain, if you don't know the route, or where the summit is, you are guaranteed to get lost. Guaranteed!

"It's as inevitable as belching after you drink a cola. We know Jaune will come after us. He'll try to finish us before sunrise. In that time, we'll have the opportunity to figure out his Stand's true abilty." Taiyang clenched his hand "We'll just have to wait for that chance."

"NO! I can't run away! Flynt and Zwei died for me! I'll do underhanded things, and even go to hell itself, but I will not run away!" Weiss shoved herself past Taiyang and ran off.

"Wait, Weiss!"

"It's no use trying to stop her, old man." Yang placed her hand on his shoulder.

Blake twisted to face Yang "Yang, tell us what you think we should do."

"Weiss is fighting him as she pursues him. We'll fight as we retreat." Yang lifted her hands out and gestured to give a better idea of what her plan is. "That means, we'll be in position for a pincer attack."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Hey, you! I want to buy that truck. Sell it to me." Taiyang demanded as he pulled out his wallet.

"What'd you say? I need this to do my job! What're you-" Taiyang shoved a large stack of Lien in the man's face and he stuttered.

"I'm flooring it, Blake!" Taiyang put the pedal to the metal and they drove away from Jaune's mansion. But above them, watching them was Jaune himself, now donning a red cape that blew in the wind.

Weiss watched from the ground below the mansion as Jaune flew off towards the truck Taiyang and Blake are in. "There you are, Jaune! Run away until sunrise? Like hell I can do that! I'll finish you myself if I must! If I don't know what your Stand is, then even without that knowledge, there are still plenty of ways to beat you! I'll assassinate you!"

Weiss was about to stand up but then Yang's hand grabbed her shoulder and yanked her back down "Don't do anything rash, Weiss! I told them to leave someone as stubborn as you alone, but the old man and Blake insisted that I stay with you. So here I am."

"Yang." Weiss smiled knowing one of her best friends was with her all the way, she loved Yang in a no homo kind of way.

Yang smiled knowingly "Yare yare daze." Old mistralian words meaning 'good grief' or an equivalent.

A picture appeared showing The World next to a stat circle. The picture listed both the Stand's name and the name of the user, Jaune's registered as DIO with all capitals. It's stats are unknown.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Jaune strolled down the street towards a large gathering of people. "Ahh, that is a nice car…" Jaune walked over to an extremely expensive looking car, one that only rich people could afford. Jaune placed his hand on the trunk. "I always wanted a nice car, unfortunately I was never as rich as Weiss…" Jaune sighed sadly.

A large hand grasped Jaune's shoulder tightly. "Hey! What do you think you're touching!" A burly man shouted in Jaune's ear, causing his eye to twitch. "This car belongs to Senator Grisnero! Do you wanna puke from your eyes!?" The man threatened Jaune, not noticing Jaune reaching for the hand touching him.

In front of the entire crowd, Jaune grabbed the body guards hand and started twisting. Jaune twisted it so far that the elbow shattered and the bones ripped through the skin. The man will never have proper use of his arm again.

The man started screaming and clutched his arm as he fell to his knees.

Jaune opened the back door to the car and got in. Senator Grisnero looked over at Jaune and smiled, he doesn't know of what transpired outside because of the soundproofing he had installed. "My, my… Young folk are so hot blooded these days."

Senator Grisnero was a short man. He had black hair and mustache, with very few grey hairs, though you could still see them. He wore a black suit with a white undershirt and a red bowtie, he had a matching fedora as well to finish the ensemble.

Senator Grisnero chuckled lightly before Jaune reached over, grasped his two front teeth and ripped them from his gums. "Shut up and get in the front seat. You're going to drive." Jaune said without looking at him. Jaune dropped the Senator's teeth on the floor.

"Wh-Who the hell are you!? Do you think you're going to get away with this!?" Grisnero clenched his fist and thought to himself 'No, of course he won't! No one could get away with doing this to me. I graduated highschool and college at the top of my class! I was captain of my college wrestling team! Even after I graduated I was respected and revered. That's how I became a politician! I have a villa on a thousand acres in Menagerie! I married a beautiful model who's 25 years younger than me! I pay 50 times more in taxes than ordinary people! I've defeated every enemy that I've faced. I'll eventually become president. I'm Senator Grisnero!'

"Listen up, young buck! You'll get life in prison for this! You hear me? Life in prison-"

Jaune grabbed Grisnero by the nose, shutting him up. "I'll say it once more." Jaune threw Senator Grisnero bodily into the front seat, breaking his nose in the process. "Drive."

'Wh-Who the hell is he!? He's going to kill me! If I don't escape, he'll kill me!' Senator Grisnero opened the driver's side and leaped out of the car "Help… me?" Grisnero fell back down inside the car. "WH-WHAT!?" He went the opposite way, and even closed the door behind him but once again, he fell back down inside the car instead of outside.

"Wh-What? I thought I jumped outside, so wh-why… why… am I inside… Why am I inside?" Grisnero started laughing from the stress and the damage to his perception of reality.

"Floor it until you catch up to that truck. If you fail to catch up to it, I'll kill you."

Grisnero grabbed the steering wheel "Y-Yes, sir." 'Why inside!? Why!? I know! It's because I am a Senator! There's nothing a Senator can't do!' Grisnero started laughing maniacally and sped off down the road.

Taiyang spied the rear view mirror and saw no cars following him "The black atmosphere that emanates from him is still close… It's coming after us. He's coming after us!"

"Can DIO tell exactly where you are, Mr Xiao Long?"

"No, his body is that of my half-brother, Glas Xiao Long. We can sense each other due to something like a strange wavelength between us, but we can only tell that the other is close, not where he is. I couldn't tell exactly where the mansion was, either, even though we were nearby. All he can sense is that a Xiao Long is nearby.

"He can't tell the difference between Yang and myself. He shouldn't be able to realize that Yang and I have split up."

Weiss knelt next to a red motorcycle and placed two wires together, they sparked but not much else. "That's strange… In movies, the engine always starts right up." Weiss kept pushing the two wires together to no avail. Yang standing behind her actually regretting being friends with her.

"W-We're stuck in traffic. Rush hour traffic in the evening is bumper to bumper." Grisnero told Jaune, with a worried look on his face.

"Go."

"You say that, but I can't move forward."

Jaune lifted his hand and pointed a talon to the side. "The sidewalk is wide enough. Go."

"The sidewalk!? It's packed with people heading home from work!" Grisnero watched as couples went out and fathers took their children to get ice cream, workers rushing off home to their families.

"That makes no difference. Go."

"Y-Yes, sir." Grisnero whimpered as he turned the steering wheel and the car lifted up onto the sidewalk, nobody noticing their oncoming doom.

"Floor it."

"Yes, sir!"

The car sped up and the engine began rumbling loudly, only now do some people turn their heads.

Yang kicked the bike with enough force to make it lift off the ground, hit the wall next to it and land back where it was, standing upright. The motor started up to the amazement of Weiss. Star Platinum appeared and kicked the chain to pieces as Yang got on the bike. "It started. Hurry up and get on, Weiss."

Grisnero laughed maniacally as blood stained the car's hood and windshield. "I've gone to such lengths for you! You'll spare my life… You'll spare this Senator's life now, won't you!?"

All sound cut out, and Jaune's reply echoed. "No."

'I see! This is a dream! A Senator like me could never die this way. It's a dream! A dream! Hooray!'

Taiyang's new truck came into view, and Jaune smiled "There he is. Get closer to them. Closer. If I am not close, I cannot use The World."

Taiyang looked into the rear view mirror again "He's getting closer. It's that car! DIO's in there!"

Blake tilted her body to be more easily able to see Jaune's vehicle and summoned Hierophant Green.

"Blake!?"

Hierophant Green's waist and legs merged together and became a tentacle that extended from Blake and let Hierophant Green travel further distances.

Using this technique, Blake was able to get her Stand to just outside Jaune's window, about ten meters away. Jaune saw it and steeled his face "Blake's…"

"Take this, DIO! Emerald Splash!" Hierophant Green placed its hands together and pure destructive energy in the form of water burst from its hands, and with a simple twist of them, Hierophant shot out a volley of emerald like blasts of destructive energy at Jaune.

The Emerald Splash burst through the window next to Jaune, and was about to hit Jaune, until… Jaune lifted his hand in a fist, and flicked out a single finger, hitting an emerald and sending it rocketing off and slamming into another before bouncing and hitting another. That emerald hit every single other emerald and sent them all off course, before finally flying away from Jaune itself.

"Wh-What is he!? He didn't so much as move from his seat, but he managed to dodge with just one finger! How about this!?" Hierophant Green fired off another volley of Emerald Splash but Jaune just casually knocked them away and above, destroying the roof of the car.

"Even when I concentrated the splash, he dodged. D-Damn it!" In an instant The World was in Hierophant Green's face. "When did he release his Stand? Impossible! How could I have not noticed!?" The World swung its fist into Hierophant's chest, though the damage was mitigated by Hierophant blocking the punch.

The force of the punch sent Hierophant all the way back to Blake, but it went through each and every light and sign on the side of the road first. "She was a bit too far away. She went flying out of The World's range."

"Wh-What's happening!?" Grisnero asked, having to dodge and weave around the broken lamps and signs.

"Would it benefit me in any way if I told you? Keep your eyes forward and drive." Jaune smirked seeing the truck coming closer.

Blake was clutching her chest as it began to bruise from the punch. "Careful, Blake! You got too close to him!"

"I-I apologize. I-I couldn't help it." Blood began to flow out of her reopen scars around her eyes.

"Blake, are you all right? Did you see The World?"

"Yes. I was attacked from around ten meters away. If I had gotten any closer, I would have been done for. It's obvious that his Stand has some terrifying secret far beyond anything we can imagine. But I've managed to figure out two things. First, it can't attack over distance like Hierophant Green and Hermit Purple. It's a close range power type, like Star Platinum. Its range is about ten meters.

"Second, it attacked with its fist. So it doesn't use ranged attacks, like bullets. If we can get within ten meters of DIO without him noticing, I think we may have a chance of defeating him."

"We need to investigate carefully. There's no such thing as being too cautious when it comes to him." Taiyang once again looked into the rear view mirror and was shocked by what he saw. "That's strange. His car stopped."

As Taiyang put his attention on the road, Blake turned around and saw a shadow descend over them. "Watch out! Something's flying at us!" The corpse of Senator Grisnero burst through the rear window of the truck and into the two passengers. The corpse fell on top of Taiyang, and made controlling the vehicle almost impossible.

The truck slammed right into a nearby building and caught fire. In no time at all the fire dust inside the car ignited and it exploded.

Jaune marched over to the truck and ripped the door off it and saw only Grisnero inside. He turned around and scanned the area before noticing that both Blake and Taiyang were above him and flying away. He smirked again.

Blake stopped to stare down at her old friend turned enemy. Taiyang had to stop himself and shout at her "Blake! What do you think you're doing!?"

"I've got it." Blake took her sunglasses off with a dramatic flair, revealing the single claw mark on each eye. "I've figured out a way to reveal what Jaune's Stand truly is."

IMMEDIATELY AHAHAHAHAHA

As Taiyang and Blake were using their Stands to traverse the city, Blake reflected on her past, and her goals.

'I lived my entire life seeing myself as oppressed by human society. But in that view I held Adam close to me like a newborn babe and its mother, like a lifeline. I felt that if I ever let go I would never be able to keep myself from submitting. But then I saw the truth, Adam was a horrible insane killer creating a fake oppression to justify his insanity and killing of humans.

'The faunus are oppressed, but only by those minorities who still hold to old dead beliefs, most humans couldn't give a rat's ass about the difference between the faunus and humanity. Ruby never cared, Yang never cared, the only one who cared was Weiss, and that hatred was completely justified. If anybody was oppressed it was her, the White Fang, the faction supposedly wanting equality, were the true oppressors…

'It was Wiess and Mr Xiao Long that helped me see that. Those who see themselves as right can be the most wrong. Now with Ruby dying, and the only way to help her is to kill Jaune, I will do anything to repay the favour. Jaune is no longer the man he once was, the man I once served happily. Or maybe he always was that, and I just saw him as right? Heh, history truly does repeat itself…'
